King Arthur Flour Biscuits
These biscuits are light, flaky, and simply irresistible. Perfect for breakfast or as a side dish with your favorite meals.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
- 3/4 cup milk or buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for a sweeter taste)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using).
- Add the cold butter pieces into the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the milk and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat it to about 1/2-inch thickness. Fold the dough over itself a couple of times to create layers, which will help achieve that flaky texture.
- Using a floured biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any leftover dough and repeat the process until all dough is used.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
These biscuits are best enjoyed warm, straight out of the oven. Serve them with butter, jam, or alongside your favorite savory dishes. Happy baking, and enjoy these King Arthur Flour favorites with friends and family!
